Abstract

This paper explores the opportunity to consider the process-risk determination approach (presented in the upcoming ISO/IEC 33015 standard) as a means to determine the level of risk associated to personal data processing activities. It outlines how the rights and freedoms of individuals are impacted by the risks related to the organizational processes supporting the new citizens’ rights introduced by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which requires performing Data Protection Impact Assessment on data processing activities, in some specific circumstances.
